[edit] History

Worthington Kilbourne was founded in 1991 to handle the increasing student body that Thomas Worthington High School was experiencing. The school was built at 1499 Hard Road, over top a Ravine, which lends itself to the name of the school newspaper.

[edit] The Ravine

"The Ravine" is the name of Worthington Kilbourne's popular school newspaper which features sections such as "In the Spotlight", "Words from the Hallways", and "Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down". The Ravine was the topic of Worthington community debate in late February 2007 after publishing a questionable article on Black History Month.^{[citation needed]}

[edit] Arts in Action

Arts in Action is an event that takes place every year in the spring, where students of the school are given a forum to display their works of art. This can take the shape of paintings, photography, sculptures, singing, and instrumental performance. One of the main events of this day is the highly competitive throw down, where potters race to create a clay pot faster than their opponents. The competition is scored by first to center the clay, first to create a neck, and a tie breaker point for style.
